One decision changed the course of our lives. If my daughter had not gotten into Beacon High School I never would have moved here. I also knew if she did get in we were going to give her this opportunity no matter the cost.

I left it in God’s hands and prayed “Ok God I will go where you lead us”. On July 15th I got official notice she got in. We put our house on the market. Aug.4th I was on a plane to move & set up a landing pad for us.

We lost much in the process—a home we had lived in for 14 years, our savings, and the familiarity of a a comfortable suburban life We left behind our family & friends & had to start our careers & life over in a city where we knew only one person.

What we gained is so much more valuable than what we lost: strength as a family, showing our daughter by example that you can do anything you put your mind to, & most important: how to be brave. Thank you fear: without you we couldn’t have been brave.

Do I ever regret it? Yes.

But I would have regretted not doing it so much more.
